Bryce Canyon National Park was established in 1928 after being settled by Ebenezer Bryce and his family around 1850. In 1942 the park was expanded to its current size of 35,000 acres. Geologically Bryce is the youngest of the parks in the south Colorado Plateau area. Zion National Park is the middle age park with Grand Canyon being the oldest in geological years.
Bryce, like Zion and Grand Canyon, was formed by erosion from streams and the melting run off from rains and snows of winter. I hope you enjoy these photographs.
